Days of Heaven Upon Earth

Devotional For

December 1

      "As He is, so are we in this world" (I. John iv. 17).
      
      Jesus will come into the surrendered heart and unite Himself with it, impart to it His own life and being and become anew from day to day, the supply of its spiritual needs and the substitute for its helplessness.
      
      Our part is simply to yield ourselves fully recognizing our own worthlessness and then take Jesus Himself to live in us and be, moment by moment, our strength, purity and victory.
      
      One in His death on the tree,
          One as He rose from the dead;
      I from the curse am as free
          E'en as my glorious Head.
      
      One in His merits I stand,
      One as I Pray in His name,
      All that His worth can demand
      I may with confidence claim.
      
      One on the Throne by His side,
          One in His Sonship divine,
      One as the Bridegroom and Bride,
          One as the Branch and the Vine.
      
      All that He has shall be mine,
          All that He is I shall be;
      Robed in His glory divine,
          I shall be even as He.
